pandas construct dataframe from lists code example

Example 1: from list of lists to dataframe

import pandas as pd

data = [['New York Yankees', 'Acevedo Juan', 900000, 'Pitcher'], 
        ['New York Yankees', 'Anderson Jason', 300000, 'Pitcher'], 
        ['New York Yankees', 'Clemens Roger', 10100000, 'Pitcher'], 
        ['New York Yankees', 'Contreras Jose', 5500000, 'Pitcher']]

df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(data)

Example 2: python how to Create Pandas Dataframe from Multiple Lists

# Short answer:
# The simplest approach is to make a dictionary from the lists and then
# to convert the dictionary to a Pandas dataframe.

# Example usage:
import pandas as pd

# Lists you want to convert to a Pandas dataframe
months = ['Jan','Apr','Mar','June']
days = [31, 30, 31, 30]

# Make dictionary, keys will become dataframe column names
intermediate_dictionary = {'Month':months, 'Day':days}

# Convert dictionary to Pandas dataframe
pandas_dataframe = pd.DataFrame(intermediate_dictionary)

print(pandas_dataframe)
	Month	Day
0	Jan		31
1	Apr		30
2	Mar		31
3	June	30
